In the early morning of the next day, Jiang Wei and Deng Zhi both dressed in official uniforms and went to the Honglu Temple of Shu Han neatly, preparing to negotiate with Zhuge Ke.

Before the negotiation, Jiang Wei was quite apprehensive, although he had participated in many contract negotiations in his previous life, he had never participated in diplomatic-level negotiations, so he asked Deng Zhi with some anxiety:

"Duke Deng, I have never been an envoy in Xia, and I don't know the diplomatic negotiations between the two countries, where to start? I also hope that Deng Gong will give you more advice! ”

Deng Zhi said with a smile:

"The diplomacy of the two countries and the war between the two armies are actually the same, but they are just two sides clarifying their positions and propositions and bargaining. Besides, if we win the battle, what are we afraid of? You only need to remember that my Han is orthodox, and when you have the grace and bearing of a great country, you can show the majesty of a great country. ”

"Grace and grace, well, I remember!"

"If you don't know what to say for a while, you don't care about anything, I'll talk about it, just watch from the sidelines!" Deng Zhi said to Jiang Wei with a smile.

Jiang Wei nodded, and together with Deng Zhi, walked into Honglu Temple.

An official had already come out to lead the way, and took the two to a hall, in which Zhuge Jin and several subordinate officials were sitting, all of them sitting in a precarious position, with serious expressions.

Jiang Wei looked from a distance and saw that Zhuge Jin was thin and tall, with a slender face, eyebrows and beard were slightly gray, but his face was still red, and he looked radiant.

Seeing Jiang Wei and a few people walking in, Zhuge Jin hurriedly got up and greeted Jiang Wei, Deng Zhi and others one by one, knowing that Jiang Wei was Zhuge Liang's descendant disciple, so he said that he was Jiang Wei's uncle.

The officials of Wu and Shu sat down, Zhuge Jin took the lead, slapped it on the table with a "snap", pointed at Jiang Wei and shouted: "Jiang Wei, do you know that you are about to be in trouble?" ”

"Me? What's wrong with me? Jiang Wei felt incredible.

Zhuge Jin said: "Jiang Wei, you broke the alliance between the two countries without authorization, causing my Wu State Son of Heaven to be angry, 100,000 troops have been assembled, and the troops will be sent to the state in the near future, and there will be a river of blood at that time, if the Wei State sends troops at the same time, you Shu Han will have the danger of destroying the country, and you Jiang Wei is the culprit!" ”

Jiang Weizheng was surprised, but Deng Zhi spoke first.

"Brother Ziyu, I see that you are opening a river, it is clear that you are betraying the alliance in Dongwu and sending troops to attack my Nanzhong, how can the wicked sue first and beat me up?"

Zhuge Jin said: "Jiaozhou is dangerous, the mountains are steep and the miasma is rampant, Pan Zhang just got lost and strayed into Nanzhong, you killed Pan Zhang, and sent troops to attack the entire territory of my Jiaozhou, and said that it is not your Shu Han betrayal alliance, do you know that Jiaozhou is the territory of my Wu State?" ”

There was a sneer on the corner of Deng Zhi's mouth, and he shouted: "Cut! Return the territory of your country, not to mention that the thirteen states in the world are the homeland of my Han Dynasty, but to say that Jiaozhou is garrisoned by our army's heroes, and you have the ability to really send troops to fight! ”

Zhuge Jin suddenly said angrily: "Deng Zhi, I'll talk to you about betraying the alliance, what are you talking to me about fighting?" ”

Deng Zhi waved his hand and said: "Then why don't you do it, I will announce the suspension of this negotiation, and wait for you to send 100,000 troops in Dongwu, and our two countries will fight a round first, and we will continue after the battle, will you do it?" ”

"You...... You vulgar! ”

"I've already seen the ...... of your face," he said, brushing his sleeves away.

At the negotiation table, Deng Zhi showed the demeanor of the ambassador of Shu Han, and Jiang Wei also saw the prestige of the great Han country.

After walking out of Honglu Temple, Jiang Wei was a little confused: "That's it here today?" ”

Deng Zhi said with a smile: "How can the negotiations between the two countries be so easy to achieve overnight, without rubbing the sharp spirit of Soochow, where is it so easy to achieve the results we want!" The soldiers in front were born and died in Jiaozhou, and the battle was won, not stronger, I'm sorry for these soldiers! ”

Jiang Wei silently gave Deng Zhi a thumbs up in his heart, and was deeply glad that he had chosen Deng Zhi to negotiate together.

The next day, under the mediation of Zhuge Jin, the negotiations continued.

This time, Zhuge Jin no longer mentioned which country betrayed the alliance first, and said straight to the point:

"The monarch of my Wu State sent me this time, the original intention was not to reinvigorate the sword soldiers with Shu Han, as long as Shu returned to Jiaozhou, returned my Eastern Wu national treasure Xuanwu Baoyu, and the captured 30,000 soldiers and sailor ships, I would be willing to rebuild an alliance with Shu Han."

After listening to this, Deng Zhi said with a smile: "Jiaozhou will never be returned to you, if you really want it, you can also exchange Jingzhou for it!" ”

"This ...... How can this be talked about? ”

Deng Zhi suddenly sneered: "There is nothing to talk about!" After speaking, he looked at Jiang Wei.

Jiang Wei hurriedly gave Deng Zhi a thumbs up secretly.

There was a whisper on the side of Dongwu, and after a long time, Zhuge Jin said:

"Two generals, in order to show the sincerity of my Eastern Wu to rebuild the alliance, the emperor of my Wu State is willing to divide Jiaozhou into two, with Hepu County as the boundary, and the four counties of Hepu, Jiaozhi, Jiuzhen, and Rinan will be returned to Shu Han; The five counties of Cangwu, Yulin, Gaoliang, Zhuya, and Nanhai returned to Soochow, returned national treasures and prisoners, and the two countries rebuilt their alliance! ”

In the end, Zhuge Jin emphasized loudly: "This is already the bottom limit of Wu State!" ”

After listening to this, Jiang Wei glanced at Deng Zhi, only to see that Deng Zhi still looked too lazy to take care of it, and said slowly: "Can't you understand people's words?" What I'm saying is that Jiaozhou will never be returned, and if you want to return Jiaozhou, take Jingzhou in exchange! ”

After speaking, he once again took Jiang Wei with his sleeves and left.

After coming out of Honglu Temple, Jiang Wei asked Deng Zhi: "Deng Gong, what do you think is the bottom limit of Dongwu?" ”

Deng Zhi thought for a while and said: "It should be to give up Jiaozhou, but to return to the other two, one is a national treasure and the other is a prisoner." By the way, Boyo, Dongwu keeps saying that their Xuanwu Baoyu, the national treasure of Dongwu, is in the hands of my Han, but is there such a thing? What is that Xuanwu Jade? ”

Jiang Wei felt that Deng Zhi was reliable and had nothing to hide, so he said: "The Xuanwu Treasure Jade that Dongwu wants is indeed in my hand, it is a treasure of wind spells, with the level of the holder's mana, the power of the original spell can be increased by hundreds and thousands. ”

When Deng Zhi heard this, he suddenly grew up in surprise, and then said with a smile: "Dongwu said that the national treasure is in the hands of the Han Dynasty, but what is the evidence?" ”

Jiang Wei said: "This thing was stolen by Shi Kuang, and Shi Kuang is now letting me Shu Han Jiaozhi Taishou, it stands to reason that this thing naturally fell into the hands of the Han Dynasty." ”

Deng Zhi thought for a while, and said to Jiang Wei with a smile: "What kind of evidence is this, Boyo, you and remember, don't tell about this matter with a third party, tomorrow at the negotiation table, you can just deny it, see what Dongwu can do to me?" With such an important weapon of the country, how can there be a reason to get it back and return it! ”

Jiang Wei smiled knowingly, and said to Deng Zhi: "Deng Gong is right. ”

On the third day, the two countries returned to the negotiating table again, and Deng Zhi directly showed the hole cards of Shu:

"My Han Son of Heaven is merciful, in order to prevent the two countries from continuing to fight, I am willing to return the 30,000 captive soldiers of Eastern Wu, and the rest are exempt from negotiation, this is a covenant, you can sign it, otherwise don't talk about it, the negotiations between the two countries end here!"

Zhuge Jin hurriedly said: "In order to show sincerity, I no longer advocate taking back Jiaozhou, but Xuanwu Baoyu is a national treasure of Dongwu, so this must be returned!" ”

Deng Zhi said: "Who said that Xuanwu Baoyu is in the Han Dynasty, no! ”

Zhuge Jin asked Jiang Wei again: "Jiang Wei, according to Gan Xin, the Xuanwu Baoyu is in your hands!" ”

Jiang Wei stood up suddenly, turned around, and spread out his hands to Zhuge Jin to check, and then said, "Look, I don't have any Xuanwu treasure on me!" ”

Zhuge Jin was speechless for a moment, this kind of treasure naturally would not be carried with him, but Jiang Wei refused to admit it, and he had no choice, I am afraid that this matter needs to be consulted by Sun Quan before it can be concluded. So he said:

"Then my Dongwu sailors' ships, as well as the armor and weapons of 30,000 soldiers, should always be returned to me in Dongwu!"

Deng Zhi said with a smile: "It seems that you still don't want to talk about it!" The 30,000 soldiers have eaten and drunk in my Han these days, and I haven't asked you for it, these things can be regarded as offsetting. ”
